Top-selling ignition coils from HELLA identified

HELLA has revealed its best-selling ignition coils, with parts for the Volkswagen Polo, BMW 3 Series and Vauxhall Corsa currently topping the list of most popular parts in the segment.

The company has put the spotlight on its ignition coil offering as part of a new campaign for 2025 highlighting the most popular items across its electronics range. “The Volkswagen Polo has been a consistent best-seller in the UK since the 1970s,” said Matthew Smart, Head of Electronics at HELLA, “so it is no surprise that an ignition coil for the vehicle is among our fastest movers.

“Equally, the BMW 3 Series is one of the most sought-after premium saloons on the market, and garages regularly work on them as a result. Lastly, the Vauxhall Corsa has been one of the top selling cars in the UK since first being launched here in 1993, so garages will be regularly seeking parts for this vehicle.”

The three parts are also found on a number of other models. The ignition coil for the Volkswagen Polo, part number 5DA 193 175-501, is also used on a range of other VAG vehicles, including Skoda, Audi and SEAT models. Meanwhile, as well as being a BMW 3 Series ignition coil, part number 5DA 193 175-491 is also used on vehicles from DS, Peugeot, Mini and Citroen. Finally, part number 5DA 358 000-341 is not just seen on the Vauxhall Corsa; this ignition coil is also used on other Vauxhall models, and on cars from Chevrolet.

The entire HELLA ignition coil range adds up to 400 individual parts, compatible with thousands of vehicles with coverage stretching back several decades and right up to the present day.

“HELLA is the leading name in OE vehicle electronics,” said Matthew, “with a wide range of best-selling parts for the aftermarket from the brand you can trust. Designed and tested to exacting OE quality standards in Germany, HELLA ignition coils are built to last and are available for a wide range of applications.”
